Additions and Modification

Shell with extrinsic rear foot post The heel post on this device is ground into the high density EVA heel stabiliser this allows any level of control to be ground into the device. The presence of EVA at the heel means that the device has shock attenuation at heel strike which avoids any transmission of kinetic energy to the knee or lower back. Motion control can also be ground into the heel to ensure that the forefoot is not affected by the heel posting.

Shell with extrinsic heel raise As a company we have taken a decision to ensure that all devices have good levels of shock attenuation at heel contact. This means that you have in this sample a device with an extrinsic heel, this offers all the mechanical control of an intrinsic heel but none of the concerns presented with extreme loading at the heel given by a solid heel.

Heel PadProvides cushioning to those patients who have experienced a loss of fibro-fatty padding or those who require additional rear foot shock absorption. This can be located under the device or between layer on any device.

Medial Arch PadAn addition to the Medial Longitudinal Arch area for those patients who require extra support.

Reinforced ArchAdds more rigidity to the orthotic and slow memory rebound, which is useful when treating a patient requiring additional biomechanical support.

Medial Rearfoot FlangeIntrinsically used when excessive pronation is obvious. This is used to slow the movement down.

Heel RaiseCan be produced to any depth required however a heel raise would normally be the full length of the shell tapering to zero thickness at the front and would be used for patients with an anatomical leg length discrepancy. Alternatively, a small heel raise can also be used just over the heel area.

1st Met Cut OutSuitable for patients with functional hallux limitus. The device allow pressure to be deflected from the 1st MPJ area, suitable for a plantar flexed first ray, sesamoiditis or to allow plantar flexion of the first ray/MP joint.

First Ray Cut OutA cut out which facilitates first ray function and can be used in cases of functional hallux limitus.
